These finely cast and beautifully embellished candlesticks were probably originally part of a five-pieces garniture to be placed on a Buddhist altar. See for example a set in situ in the Fanhua Lou in the forbidden city, illustrated in Cultural Relics of Tibetan Buddhism collected in the Qing palace, Beijing, 1992, pl. 120.
